Carmageddon 2 on WinXP Pro

It's installed and when I click "Launch" from the Carmageddon 2 Launcher I immediately get the "carma2_hw.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." generic error with the "Send error report" thing. It's the furthest I've made it.

Yes:
I've tried Windows 95 compatibility... I've also tried every other option on that menu.
I've tried the carma2_hw.exe patch for WinXP also using every compatibility option.
I've installed "Glidewrapper" which also did nothing.
I have the newest version of DirectX... although that might not be good since I'm trying to run an 11 year old game.

Oh wow, this brings back memories haha. Carma 2 is an awesome game....

I remember having this trouble a long time ago, I remember the solution being some sort of Glide3D Wrapper for DirectX under XP. There is a performance hit with doing that... but cmon, its Carma 2 so you won't notice it.
